The fiery crash of a C 17 cargo plane killed four men at Elmendorf Air Force Base near downtown Anchorage, Alaska. Reportedly, three of the
men who died were in the Alaska Air National Guard.The fourth was on active duty at the base.

The plane crashed during a training run at the Air Force base. According to the Associated Press, the C-17 plane crash happened at approximately 6:14
p.m. during a training demonstration for an upcoming weekend air show.

I did not see this article on after a search on ATS so thought it should be up. RIP those who died. My respects and thoughts go to their families and
friends.

The article states investigators are looking into what caused the C17 to crash at the end of the runway. It does state it was on a training run for an
upcoming air show. It strange how things like disasters happen at around the same time. I'm thinking of the F18 that crashed in Canada and now this.
Similarly, the BP Oil leak and the rupture pipeline into the river in Michigan.
